Police: Stabbing Started Over Whiskey

An argument over whiskey ended in two arrests after one man stabbed another, according to the Fort Smith Police Department.

The suspect, Kyle Bolin, was arrested on a charge of second-degree battery with a sharp instrument. The man who was stabbed, Jeffrey Roberts, was arrested for second-degree battery.

Police say the two were arguing over a bottle of whiskey at 3001 Hardie Ave. just before 6 p.m. Thursday when Roberts started choking Bolin. When the fight broke up, Bolin allegedly stabbed Roberts in the back.

“The injury did not appear to be too significant and Mr. Roberts refused to go to the hospital,” a report from the Police Department states.
